Castle Rock Hostel in Edinburgh, Scotland

Castle Rock Hostel, Edinburgh Scotland

A
hostel experience should be considered as golden rule when traveling to Edinburgh, Scotland. Not only
is Edinburgh a dramatic city to conquer, it also rocks with one of the greatest
hostel-castle that you will ever see in the United Kingdom. Imagine opening
your windows next to THE Edinburgh Castle, not bad at
all? Thanks to the Castle Rock Hostel for making
this point universally clear. It’s the No.
1 Hostel in Scotland for 2008, 2009, and 2010, as voted for by the
HostelWorld Customers.

The
place was built in 1846 and morphed into this gothic-grand one of a kind
hostel, packed with art and antiquity. There’s free Wi-Fi, a cool movie room, a
charming patio, a cozy fire place to join in the fun with other wanderlusts. If
you’re looking for that almost haunted, yuppie-packed backpacker nomads from
all over the planet, this is it. Also, it’s 1 minute away from the Royal Mile
and from the Grassmarket, which are the easiest go-to places in Edinburgh if
you’re looking for culture, and everyday local setup. The highlight for me
though is the window views – it’s this wicked postcard that’s nothing like I
can imagine: Just. Absolutely. Mindblowing.
